Use a combination of words, images, diagrams, and anything else to help you remember these concepts. Focused Objectives: Review neurologic problems that require ICU-level car Define the altered level of consciousnes Compare and contrast encephalopathy and delirium. Define increased intracranial pressure (IICP). Discuss the relationship between cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and intracranial pressure (ICP). Review signs and symptoms of IICP. Review neurologic exam techniques to recognize increased intracranial pressure. Implement ICP monitoring techniques and contrast methodologies. Synthesize management actions to optimize care in patients with IICP. Compare and contrast: Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) with diabetes insipidus (DI) and cerebral salt wasting (CSW) Synthesize actions to manage sodium in a patient with neurologic disease. Identify status epilepticus and outline management strategies. Review brain death criteria and NP role in determination of brain death.
